Wired is steady and predictable. The best choice depends on your building. What do your customers think while they wait? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Wired is steady and predictable. - Wireless saves cabling and installation time. - Old or protected buildings often favour wireless. Quick answer Wired queue systems use network cabling between the counters, kiosk, server and display, and are the most predictable. Wireless counter units and displays save cabling, suit existing buildings and temporary sites, and need a good radio or network environment. Many sites combine both: wired for fixed items and wireless for counters.
